About this short report

As you read your short report, or any other astrological report, keep in mind that the energies interpreted here are your birth potentials. However, you may or may not choose to actualize these energies in the manner described. Your age, sex, socio-economic situation, education, environment, level of development, and many other factors contribute to the ways in which you express your natal energies. Remember, the planets do not compel you to do or be anything. They influence you, but you still have the free will to determine your own life.

Pluto opposition Mercury: Headstrong convictions

Beginning of March 2017 until beginning of November 2019: During this time communications with
others may become quite difficult, if the reason for communicating is to coerce opinions and
thinking rather than to inform. Such coercion provokes resistance and then a general
breakdown of communication. You must let others be and let them think what they want. And if
you are threatened by someone else's coercion, you will be obliged to stand up for your
beliefs and fight for them if necessary. First of all, scrutinize your ideas thoroughly so
that you know their strengths precisely and can't be caught unprepared in a conflict. And
remember that there is nothing wrong with changing your stand if it proves necessary.

Avoid fanatical ideas, that is, opinions that you believe in absolutely and consider worthy of
forcing on others. Under this influence you can become totally possessed by convictions that
have very little real meaning but that you insist on forcing on others. Also avoid
associating with people who are inclined to think this way, because they will force their
views upon you. With this influence there is no point in asking for conflict; it will
probably come anyway.

Obsessive thinking can take another course also. You may become so obsessed with working out
an idea, which may be perfectly valid, that you can't get any peace until you have done so.
While you are able to do very hard mental work during this time, you should be careful not to
overstrain yourself. Research and other types of mental exploration, especially about occult
beliefs or very obscure and hidden matters, are the most dangerous, because they can be very
obsessive. Rather than avoiding such work altogether, however, it would be better to exercise
restraint in working on them.

Mid-December 2017 until end of August 2018: This influence gives you a great deal of
confidence and makes you feel very self-assertive. Usually this is all right, but some people
will express this energy by becoming arrogant and domineering. Also be wary of
overconfidence, resulting in attempts to do things that are simply beyond you.

Intemperance in almost any activity could completely undo the basically positive nature of
this influence. Avoid exaggeration and try to maintain some sense of proportion. If you can
do all of this, you will be able to get more work done than usual, and you will do it well.
You will be able to accomplish things that you are usually afraid to tackle because you feel
inadequate, and you can take the initiative when you would otherwise wait for others to take
the lead.

With care and planning and adequate restraint, this influence is a general sign of fortunately
timed action that takes advantage of the proper moment and makes the most of it. And this is
not luck on your part, but insight and skill. All of this requires preparation, however,
because impulsive actions at this time are not likely to be very effective.

It may be particularly important to placate persons in authority. If you act precipitately,
they may become alarmed and think of you as a threat, whether or not you intend to be. Of
course, if you do consciously intend to be a threat, this influence could be a help, assuming
again that you have planned carefully. But if you are not conscious of your intentions, you
may experience opposition from others without ever quite understanding why.

Jupiter square Jupiter: Impending shortages

Mid-January 2018 until end of September 2018: With this influence it is very important that
you keep your affairs from getting out of hand. There is a strong tendency to excess, which
may make it impossible to keep up with whatever you are involved in, simply because it is more
than you can handle. Be particularly careful concerning financial matters, for you are likely
to spend without thinking, confident that there is an abundance of money or other resources to
back you up. You may not notice the pinch immediately, but shortly after this period you may
experience shortages that will be severely exacerbated if you spend money foolishly now.

But money is not the only area of concern. You may be overcommitted to projects that demand
more time than you really have. So in every area of your life, make sure that you really have
the time or resources to do what you have set out to do. Do not overestimate the resources at
your disposal.

If you avoid that pitfall, this can be a very fruitful influence, because it gives you more
confidence and optimism and allows you to undertake projects that you would ordinarily be
reluctant to take on. Also your basically positive attitude helps to ensure that your affairs
will turn out the way you want.

Under this influence some persons experience a kind of ego inflation in which they have
delusions of grandeur or overestimate their self-importance. This can lead to arrogant
behavior and inflated pride with little or no real substance behind it.

What this influence does is test your sense of proportion. You have to know what you really
can and cannot do and who you really are. Insofar as you fulfill those conditions, this
influence will give you apparent luck and greater power to achieve.

Saturn opposition Venus: Adversities

End of January 2018 until mid-November 2018: This influence often signifies a crisis in your
personal relationships. Love seems harder to come by, and you may cool off toward those who
used to be dear to you. Or they may cool off. This is a period of testing old relationships
to find out whether they can survive and make a contribution to your life. It is rather
difficult to establish new relationships, for this is a time for culminating the old, not
beginning anew.

This influence indicates that your need for relationships is in strong conflict with your need
to feel like a distinct, separate and definite individual. Either you are such an
individualist in your relationships that others find it difficult to relate to you, or the
relationships smother your sense of individuality. You may feel very lonely even in the
presence of your loved ones, because a wall has been built up between you and them.

It is absolutely essential to reexamine your relationships at this time to determine exactly
your rights, duties and obligations and those of your partner. Probably you have been
trespassing upon each other's prerogatives, and the tension that this causes has led to your
current difficulties.

One common manifestation of this influence is becoming involved in a relationship that makes
very heavy demands on you. Although you would rather not be involved in it, you find it
difficult to break out of. All you can do in this case is to persist and do whatever you have
to do. If you simply abandon this relationship, you will almost immediately encounter another
relationship like it, and another and another until you live one of them through.

This may also be a time of material and financial adversity. Here again you will have to
examine your past attitudes toward material resources and perhaps change your whole
orientation toward them. Try getting along with less; you may find that you need less than
you had thought.

Mid-March 2018 until mid-January 2020: This influence is a chance to examine your life and to
see within it the seeds for something greater than you have imagined. This greatness is not
in the material realm, nor will it give you power over others. Instead your opportunity is to
see your life in a spiritual dimension that you have never before perceived. This can
manifest itself in a number of ways.

First of all, you may discover an increased empathy for the people in your everyday life. You
can put yourself into another's place in a way that you have never been able to do before; you
can see and, more importantly, feel what someone else feels. Consequently you will have more
sympathy and compassion for other people's problems.

Your compassion springs from a realization of the essential unity of yourself and all being.
For most people, this is not an entirely conscious realization. You may feel an increased
involvement with others, but you don't quite know where it has come from. On the other hand,
this can be a conscious feeling, in which case you may become more attracted to mystical
philosophies and metaphysics, which try to verbalize what you are beginning to experience.
You may experience a reawakened interest in religion, even if this has long been dormant in
your life. Possibly you may even have a profound psychic or mystical experience.

Even if by temperament you are not inclined to mysticism, you will experience its effects as
increased idealism and an increased willingness to work for the kind of world you want to see.

Whatever else may happen, you will feel more capable of selfless actions in your relationships
with others. You will be willing to help, seeking little or nothing in return because your
own ego seems less important to you now.

Neptune opposition Moon: Strange moods

Mid-May 2018 until beginning of March 2020: This influence produces strange moods and
obsessions that can make your life quite difficult if you take them at face value or too
seriously. Your perception of the world is not terribly acute at this time, and you tend to
see things as you want to see them rather than as they are. Psychic and spiritual studies and
teachings, which usually are quite valuable, should be taken up with extreme care at this time
because you may misunderstand or misuse them. Often this influence denotes that you are weary
of the world as it is and want to escape from it. Spiritual teachings can be used as an
excuse for escape, but that is not their most constructive use by any means. The world is
here so you can learn to handle it, not so you can avoid it. You can only disguise it, which
makes it much more damaging to you.

You can be deceived by your feelings under this influence. For example, you may idealize
someone out of all proportion to the truth and insist that what you see in that person is
really so because your intuition tells you it is. But you are likely to be disappointed if
you do this. Be especially careful in love affairs, which are often subject to overidealizing
anyway. Also watch out for a tendency to saddle yourself with "stray dogs," that is, forlorn
and woebegone people who appeal to your compassion. If you can really be of assistance to
them, fine. But first make sure you can. Your efforts may be wasted on people who do not
really want to change at all.

Events in your personal and domestic life may become very unclear at this time. Keep your
home life as neat and orderly as possible, for any serious problems there could undermine your
self-confidence and make you more fearful in dealing with the world. You may have a problem
with female relatives or friends during this influence.
